Now, let's try performing along with Session Partner.
Since a wide variety of musical genres is provided, be sure to use a Rhythm
that best suits the song you are performing. Please refer to "Selecting a
Rhythm" (p. 33).
1.
Press the [Start/Stop] button.
The [Start/Stop] button's indicator lights in red, and the intro begins to play.
After the intro is played, the light's color changes to green.
The chord progression advances automatically, freeing you up to play the
melody.
2.
When you press the [Start/Stop] button once more, the
ending is played, and the Rhythm stops.
While the ending is being played, the [Start/Stop] button's indicator lights
in red. When the Rhythm stops, the [Start/Stop] button's indicator goes out.
Additionally, when the [Start/Stop] button indicator is lit in red, if you then
press the [Start/Stop] button once more, you can immediately stop the intro
or ending, even when while these are being played.
Selecting Parts
You can switch corresponding Parts on or off using the [Drums], [Bass], and
[Chord] buttons.
